    Can't get "recognize my voice" to turn on, on ATV 3rd Gen TVOS 16.4.1

    Hey all, need some help here: I recently purchased the 3rd Gen Apple TV 4k 128 GB to replace a 2nd Gen 64 GB. Mainly to have the newer model to ensure longer support going forward. Anyway, I wanted to try the "recognize my voice" features for Siri. On my iPhone 12 Pro Max, running iOS 16.4.1...

    HomePod Anyone else having trouble with Siri/responsiveness on HomePod 2?

    Hey y’all! My HomePod OG pair is working totally fine in my living room, but in my bathroom I feel like the single HomePod 2 is a nucance. There are a lot more noticeable and frequent issues with it not playing music than before when I just had a single HomePod OG in the bathroom. I’ll say...

    iPhone 14 Pro “Hey Siri” working with just “Siri” for me today

    I was talking about “Siri” today and Siri popped up on my iPhone 14 pro and thought it was strange but then remembered Apple talking about dropping the “Hey” so I tested some more and to my discovery, to activate “Siri” all I have to say now is “Siri” and she pops up! Anyone else?!

    What's happened to Siri in recent weeks?

    Siri, while always pretty poor, has become disastrously bad in the last few weeks. What change has occurred? When music is playing on the HomePod: Me: "Hey Siri. Stop" Siri: "No one is calling at this time" This always used to work to stop music. Desire to listen to up tempo music: Me: "Hey...

    HomePod Different Siri responses from HomePod and iPhone when running a Shortcut

    This is really just a comment rather than a problem. I’d be interested in others’ comments. I’ve created a Shortcut that performs an action, then has a delay (120 seconds) and then performs another action. I can run this Shortcut from my iPad or iPhone and they just do it without complaint...

    Siri and the Super Bowl

    I watched the Super Bowl today (one of the finest ever) and had a wonderful Siri experience. During the game I thought I heard someone speaking to me. I was home alone so checked outside to see if one of the neighbors was calling. No one there. Finally I figure the voice was the Siri clone...

    Apple and AI / LLMs [MERGED]

    As much as people hate on it, Siri is critical to Apple’s future. It’s frustrating that so little is said about Siri from senior executives at Apple. Artificial Intelligence is hard but a company of Apple’s resources should be pouring not just millions but billions into developing Siri. Like...

    Siri - Weather Forecast

    It's 2023 and Siri on my iPhone cannot tell me the forecast for the day. I wanted to get an estimate for the snow total today and asked for the weather forecast. Siri simply said: "It's snowing." I guess even with all this talk of AI we still have a long way to go before anyone gets automated...

    HomePod HomePod Siri Suddenly Stopped Being able To Respond Jan 31 2023

    Suddenly this morning all of my OG and mini HomePods have suddenly stopped being able to respond to requests. I only get “On It…” “This is taking too long” etc. restarted network, and even tried removing and re-adding HomePod (which has always been the previous fix and still nothing. Anyone else...

    Siri can't set timer anymore

    Siri can't set a timer for me (or set an alarm clock). He/she just replies "working on it" and then "something went wrong". This was working earlier but not anymore. Siri can still tell me what the weather is or else. However timer is the one thing I use Siri for the most (only I would say)...

    This YouTuber has actually made Siri useful.

    For eons, Siri has been arguably one of the worst voice assistants on the market. For eons, your queries have either elicited the responses "Here's what I found", "Just a sec" or "Something went wrong." Ladies and Gents, this goes on no longer. I implore all of you to check out IDeviceHelp's...

    HomePod Weather for local shops

    If I ask my HomePod for the weather in Chicago she replies with … “It’s currently clear and 26 degrees at Chicago Boot Company …” Ask for the weather in London I get … “It’s currently clear and 26 degrees near London K Burgers …” This is a new thing. Probably since 16.1 (currently running...

    Shortcut working if tapped, not if triggered via Siri

    Hello! I'm posting here in hope that someone with more experience with Shortcuts has any idea how to address an odd issue I have. I have a very simple Shortcut that calls FlightRadar24's "Start AR view" action, and nothing else. It used to work perfectly until a few weeks ago, but now calling...

    Asking Siri to turn off the flashlight turns off the iPhone

    HomePod HomePod keeps replying to Hey Siri instead of MacBook Pro

    Hi there, my HomePod is relatively close to my MacBook Pro which is docked in at my desk. Whenever I say Hey Siri for my MacBook Pro to listen in and for example open an App, my HomePod seems to overtake and replies instead. What would be the best thing to todo here? How are you using Siri on...

    Why can’t Siri/dictation hear the word Covid?

    Three years after Covid started, Siri still can’t hear this word. It comes up as covert or covet. Surely these days it’s a commonly used word. I remember reading that they used to monitor conversations to try to improve Siri and dictation, but that stopped a few years ago, because some of the...

    HomeKit Amazon Alexa is a “colossal failure,” on pace to lose $10 billion this year

    While many will complain about Siri and say that it should be more like Alexa, it does not appear that Amazon is all that pleased with Alexa. Perhaps this is why Apple has not invested more into Siri...
